Abstract

Zr54Os17 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are twelve inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Os atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Os bond distances ranging from 3.03–3.21 Å. In the second Zr site, Zr is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two Os atoms. There are one shorter (2.90 Å) and one longer (2.96 Å) Zr–Os bond lengths. In the third Zr site, Zr is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two Os atoms. There are one shorter (2.56 Å) and one longer (2.97 Å) Zr–Os bond lengths. In the fourth Zr site, Zr is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two Os atoms. There are one shorter (2.79 Å) and one longer (2.95 Å) Zr–Os bond lengths. In the fifth Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Os atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Os bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.85 Å. In the sixth Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Zr and two Os atoms. The Zr–Zr bond length is 3.28 Å. There are one shorter (2.69 Å) and one longer (3.06 Å) Zr–Os bond lengths. In the seventh Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Os atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Os bond distances ranging from 2.63–3.06 Å. In the eighth Zr site, Zr is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Os atoms. Both Zr–Os bond lengths are 2.86 Å. In the ninth Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zr and five Os atoms. Both Zr–Zr bond lengths are 3.22 Å. There are a spread of Zr–Os bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.88 Å. In the tenth Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to eleven Zr and four Os atoms. There are one shorter (3.11 Å) and four longer (3.31 Å) Zr–Zr bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.12 Å) and two longer (3.32 Å) Zr–Os bond lengths. In the eleventh Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Os atoms. There are two shorter (2.89 Å) and two longer (3.17 Å) Zr–Os bond lengths. In the twelfth Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Zr and four Os atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Os bond distances ranging from 2.89–3.15 Å. There are six inequivalent Os sites. In the first Os site, Os is bonded in a cuboctahedral geometry to twelve Zr atoms. In the second Os site, Os is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eleven Zr and one Os atom. The Os–Os bond length is 2.96 Å. In the third Os site, Os is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to ten Zr and two equivalent Os atoms. In the fourth Os site, Os is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Zr atoms. In the fifth Os site, Os is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eleven Zr and one Os atom. The Os–Os bond length is 2.83 Å. In the sixth Os site, Os is bonded to ten Zr and two equivalent Os atoms to form distorted edge-sharing OsZr10Os2 cuboctahedra.

Cyclic moisture reactivation of calcium sorbents for long duration thermochemical energy storage

The transition to a flexible and reliable energy infrastructure, using electro-thermal energy generation technologies such as geothermal, concentrated solar power, and nuclear, usually demands simultaneous advancement of thermal energy storage (TES) to support on-demand electricity generation and industrial applications while mitigating the inherent intermittency of renewable energy sources and power outages from direct energy generation. Among TES technologies, thermochemical energy storage (TCES) based on calcium looping emerges as a compelling high-power energy storage candidate due to its high reaction enthalpy, compatibility with elevated operating temperatures, and abundance of low-cost materials. However, the long-term durability of calcium-based sorbents for TCES is hindered by surface sintering and particle aggregation, leading to performance degradation over repeated thermal cycles. This study explores a moisture hydration-based strategy to regenerate a degraded calcium sorbent and mitigate performance degradation for long duration TCES. The addition of moisture transforms calcium oxide into calcium hydroxide and produces intercalation water layers, associated with a regenerated surface area and reduced calcium oxide crystallite size. Both these effects are beneficial in restoring the sorbents' reactivity for carbonization. Additionally, an optimized hydration-assisted reactivation protocol balances the recovered energy storage capacity with heating penalty required for moisture removal from hydrated samples, resulting in an enhanced energy storage capacity up to 176% compared to benchmark sorbents that undergo cycling without reactivation after 60 cycles. In conclusion, these results highlight the potential of hydration-assisted reactivation to enhance the long-term performance of TCES, providing an effective pathway to advancing electro-thermal storage technologies.
